this kind of geeky guy who are making out. it's a close shot. people say i can't watch it, i cringe, i turn away. so -- >> so we're making you watch it yet again. >> we're seeing -- >> enjoy it, hoda. you think america wants to see more of this, then let's show a little more. >> here's the question. the question is this. why does it gross people out? >> let's do it in slow motion. really. slow motion. we can do that. can't we? >> but why? what is it about -- now, if they were two people who -- if it was bar and -- i'm asking. do people feel uncomfortable when they see a beautiful person and a not quite as beautiful person making out? >> beauty is in the eye of the beholder. i bet the mother of that boy thinks he's beautiful. >> don't try to make me feel bad. these are questions that everyone turned away. here's a will ferrell ad. i'm not saying will ferrell is not a hottie, but he is also making out with a woman who is looking out of a bus window, and then suddenly they go in for it. boom. >> now -- okay? now --

>> what is he, on a basketball jersey? >> he is on a bus. greyhound. i don't know, it's an old milwaukee's best commercial. >> beer. of course, it is. >> oh. now why is this something that people aren't, like, wow, that's hot turn-on? >> they have their clothes on. >> second of all -- >> different times in history -- an throw poe logically, the world's view of beauty has been very different through the years. remember when they used to do the -- like the heavy, very heavy set large bosom. that was considered hot, gorgeous. now all of a sudden it's the skinny -- it's people considered gorgeous or not. by today's standards bar rafaelli is considered hot by today's standards. the young man that she is sucking face with -- >> he is kind of geeky. >> is not considered hot. is it because of the imbalance? if you watch a soap opera or some other -- >> they are equally balanced, hoda-woman. >> let's watch some of this.

>> we're going to watch making out for our whole show. this for some reason instead of everybody going ooh, it's too close. they're saying oh, that's hot. they are right there on the ladder equally. i can't see the guy, but i think so from the back. >> it's about equal footing. okay. just wondering why everyone was so oohed out about the other one. >> they still seem to be. everybody keeps talking about how much this kid was paid to do the commercial. i asked our producers, find out how much the girl was paid. >> so bad. >> although, it turns out i felt a little bit for the kid because it seemed exploitive of him. >> he loved it. >> he is so happy. >> is he in heaven. >> he is getting calls. he is getting jobs. he has gone from -- >> please. >> he has gone from being like 63 movies he has been in as an extra. no speaking part. he will probably get in the next jonah hill movie or something. >> i bet you're right. >> he was here the other day. >> yeah.

>> do you know what's similar? we should always take our cue from the person that is at the center of the controversy. if that kid is not upset about it, we shouldn't be. when governor christie was on david letterman. >> there's a funny bit. governor christie goes on letterman, i don't know if you saw this, and he gets in there and he -- now, letterman has always been making fun of christie and his weight. he came on and decided to give it back down to him. take a listen. >> i make jokes about you. not just one or two. not just ongoing here and there intermittent, but -- >> i didn't know this was going to be this long. >> here's two of them that we put together. first one was celebrity birthday today, chris christie turned 50, and he blew out the candles on his cake and he wished for another cake.

[ applause ] this one i thought -- i don't know if this was one of your best ones, but i think it's topical given what went on yesterday. a billion dollars will be spent on potato chips for super bowl sunday, and that's just at governor christie's house. [ laughter ] >> now, he seems to be -- he is having a lot of fun with it. >> he is having fun with it, and didn't he also say -- he said, listen, i'm the healthiest fat man you've ever met in your life. >> he said his cholesterol was great, his blood sugar was great and everything. >> i happen to adore that man. >> he's really funny. >> i met him just once at a giants game. he fills the room. i don't mean just bulk. everybody loves him. he is teasing. he is funny. i didn't even see him snacking on anything. he just has a great personality. >> i wonder if he -- you know sometimes you tell the jokes that someone else doesn't. like you're out there in front. >> you get ahead of it. >> you want to get ahead of it.

i wonder if it at all hurts his feelings when he hears a lot of fat jokes. >> i can't imagine it's great to hear constantly. >> i think the best thing you can do is always be self-deprecating. about it. i think in the privacy of anybody's life, and we've seen this a lot through the joy fit club, people that are that overweight have serious health issues ultimately. they just do. almost every single one of them would love to take a magic pill and be thin. for whatever reason. it can be a cruel world, and a lot of bullying takes place because of it. >> i always cringe when i watch, like, a heavy set female comedian make fat jokes. i don't know why. i know that it's -- there's something about it that just makes me kind of cringe a little. i feel like the way he handled it on this show was great. i mean, i thought he really handled it. >> people in your life that have been teased and have had painful experiences, so you're sensitive to it. >> i think anyone who has ever been friends or known or been with someone that's overweight gets the feeling, or if you've

been there yourself and i have been there, too, and you think is that a funny thing? are they laughing at me? you feel eh. >> you ever see the difference between hoda and myself, as if it's not obvious? . we didn't have our cards ready today, so they brought us these. i just put mine nicely in front of me and -- >> i tore mine. okay? because i don't know why. >> i would love to have a psychiatrist tell us why. i was totally content with our nice neat little pages that i could like do this to. pick one up, put them underneath to the next topic. but hoda has now no idea what the next topic is. she has a lot of empty pages that only get in the way, and why is my question. >> i don't know. i wanted to cut it in half, but -- you know what i almost did when i saw it? you know what i used to love to do as a kid? >> no, you didn't. this is going to take forever. >> i did this, and then -- >> if you are really careful,

you can just do this and, oh, my gosh, it is so exciting and fulfilling when it -- >> look how clean. >> look at that. look at that. >> no, you don't need -- >> that's the difference. right there. >> you got it. how about a cute baby picture? we have one for you. this is shakira's baby picture. a lot of people -- >> god bless them. >> oh, come on. a lot of people sell their baby pictures, but not shakira. >> i love that about her. >> she decided to ask people to give charity donations of between $5 or whatever for unicef, and that's so sweet. >> she's one of their international ambassadors, and she said instead of baby gifts, instead of anything for me, i'm blessed beyond belief. i have everything i could ever need or wish for. >> i love that. >> in his name grant some money or gifts or something to unicef so that other less fortunate others can have their basic needs covered.

>> it's very sweet. >> that says everything about her. >> we have a johnson's baby contest because maybe your baby will be selected. >> we should say, usually sara does that for us, but she's gone all this week because she's out in l.a. shooting great pizzas. >> we're excited. in conjunction with johnson's baby, we're celebrating moms everywhere. every week we're going to feature your little bundle of joy right here in our studio. >> send a photo. the birth date and the weight and some words of wisdom about parenthood. you'll have your baby's photo shown right here shown on friday. >> okay. go to klgandhoda.com. >> i can't wait until tomorrow. >> hoda, i didn't realize what a problem you had until i started seeing how excited you were getting to wednesday. >> i keep telling everyone it's new year's eve, they go, what are you talking about? >> what if i said, you know what, i think this has been good for me, we're not going to do this tomorrow. >> first of all, you know you would never say that. let's begin right there. >> you know, we need to recount our calories. >> i know. >> all this time it's like every

day don't wake up and don't read the papers because everything you've been doing that you thought was right is now going to be wrong. >> don't drink coffee. drink coffee. don't drink red wine. drink red wine. now they're saying that the accuracy of the calories on some of those meals -- >> diet meals. >> are -- >> can be wrong by 50%. >> so if you are wondering why you're not losing that weight that you thought -- >> maybe because the numbers on the box aren't really what you are getting. >> maybe chris christie is on one of those diets and it's just not working. because it's not accurate. they say they're calling -- they're counting calories now by a system that is over like 100 years old. >> it's ancient. they need to do it. it's probably so much other stuff in there, too. >> you know what the problem is with our entire food supply? it's preservatives. i think that's why there's so much more obesity and so much more illness in the world. we were meant to eat fresh food. >> well, let's eat pancakes. >> okay. at least they're fresh. >> i hop free pancake days. here's the deal.

in return, diners will be asked to leave a voluntary donation to support the children's miracle network hospital. >> which is a fantastic program. >> we have a couple of people -- wow -- enjoying pancakes. it's a pancake eating contest. 30 seconds on the clock, please. >> joe, joe, joe. he's already started. go, go, go. >> now go. >> joe has been eating since the morning. >> joe has the greatest body, and every time i see him he is eating. he eats all day like a garbage disposal. >> joe -- look at joe. don't choke. don't choke. >> oh, it's going to be -- oh, oh, oh. o.j. >> they're very neat about it. >> the man is an animal. i think -- i think joe got it. >> joe's got it. >> we want to give a shout-out right here to cory and jessica who are standing right there. we met them at the chris evert

>> what's the right move to move them? >> how do you weed through and find the right guy? >> half the game is won or lost before you even leave the house. who are you going out with? >> it's very important how you dress. >> how you dress is important too, but also if you want to go out with a couple of girlfriends. not a massive group because that's intimidating for men. >> not your whole sorority. >> exactly. >> not just with one friend because then a guy comes to meet you, and you have your friend standing there awkwardly. >> three is the charm. >> start in three. wear something or bring something interesting that a guy can comment on. like let's say you got a shiny purse. >> or nice cleavage. that doesn't work you say usually? >> that's not quite where we're going with this. >> i told you that's not where you're going, hoda. >> i hate even sitting here. >> there's no straight man who cares enough about your purse to ask you about it. if he does make a comment, it's because he wants to get to know you, and you have opened the door for the conversation. >> maybe is he gay and wants to know who designed it. >> then you have an interesting conversation. >> then you have a good friend.

>> what's the other way other than bringing a prop? >> let's say there's a specific guy you want to meet. there's really subtle ways to get him to come over. like the eye contact thing or even bumping into them. >> but don't spill his drink, you said. >> try not to. i ended up dating someone who did that. that's where i learned that -- >> it didn't last, did it? >> we broke up, i'm, like, you shouldn't have spilled that drink on me. i remember. >> and you talk about how if you are a pretty girl, then dress pretty. if you are not so pretty girl, dress interesting. >> i think it's -- >> play to your strengths. >> it's so important to go to your strengths. i'm with guys as they're going out to bars or clubs or coffee shops, and they're deciding who to approach and who they're interested in. i see so often that guys would much rather approach the woman who is confident in her own skin who looks comfortable with herself and who maybe is telling a story about herself with how she's dressed than the 25th most attractive woman in the room that's competing on that ground.

>> it's hard but it's sad. >> yeah. >> i'm not looking at you when i say that. i didn't. i know you thought that, and i wasn't. i was saying -- i think you want to ask a question now. right, hoda? >> you have asked every question, and i'm done with this segment. it seems to be over. the single one didn't even ask a question. it's fine. i'm going to the handy man segment that's coming up next. >> they're five guys who i think might be right for you, hoda. we're going to meet the models who remodel right after this. good morning to you. i'm meteorologist chris warren with your weather channel forecast. today we're watching still some snowshowers with a clipper working across the northeast. we're going to have a chance for some snow throughout parts of the upper midwest. coldest air still closest to the canadian border, getting close to the freezing mark here in minneapolis. anytime you get above the freezing mark in minneapolis this time of year, it almost feels balmy.

temperatures will be above freezing in chicago. and we're going to see temperatures quite mild in the southeast. that changes on thursday, a system in texas right now moves across the gulf coast states, brings rain and cooler temperatures. so say goodbye to those readings around 70 degrees because things will cool off. the next low moving through on thursday bringing a chance for snow here, chicago you're kind of in the middle. going to have to wait and see which type of precipitation you get, whether it's rain, ice or snow. but by thursday the temperatures will be into the 20s in minneapolis, coming down here still cold throughout the northeast. boston is going to be 26. friday is going to be a big day to watch for. later today again on thursday, really pay attention to the weather channel for the changes that may be coming with the forecast. because the way things are look now, this potentially could be a big storm for boston and parts of new england and the northeast. friday into saturday.

saturday whatever happens they're still lingering and moving off. we'll see the chance for snow decreasing, though, by the second half of the weekend we're watching a new system moving into the plains here. there will be some snow associated with it. also rain, possibly some severe weather this weekend throughout parts of texas and throughout parts of the southern plains as well. and then on monday we're also going to see things be a little bit on the messy side throughout parts of the great lakes. remember weekdays on the weather channel wake up with al. for over 75 years people have saved money with...ohhh... ...with geico... ohhh...sorry! director's voice: here we go. from the top. and action for over 75 years people have saved money with gecko so.... director's voice: cut it! ...what...what did i say? gecko? i said gecko? aw... for over 75 year...(laughs. but still trying to keep it contained) director's voice: keep it together. i'm good. i'm good. for over 75...(uncontrollable lahtuger). what are you doing there? stop making me laugh. vo: geico. saving people money for over seventy-five years.
